Butterfly Block Sewing

No fireworks here in my area this past weekend.....just Rain Rain Rain....about 5 inches at my house......BUT....I did jump into sewing up some of these cute little butterfly blocks I saw on Nedra's blog Cactus Needles. Nedra saw them on Amy's blog Mrs. Schmenkman Quilts . Amy then saw them on Choccy Bangles blog.......well.....you get the picture. Just giving credit where credit is due...Something that seems 'lacking' in some other bloggers. It's just good manners ladies!!!!

Butterflies are usually flitting around flowers aren't' they....sooooo, I chose floral print fabrics and I opted for chocolate brown for my background instead of the black. I love the black the other gals used but wanted to experiment with something different. I had decided I didn't like them at first...but the more I sewed up the better I liked them as a whole. I really like this pattern. Thanks sooooo much AMY for working out the pattern/tutorial for us!!!

Goober is growing and growing. He is waiting here for a scrap of fabric to fall to the floor so he can grab it and run!!!

Super cute and I love the brown b.g. Yes, giving credit is just good manners, but that seems to have been a trait of years gone by. I just posted and linked back to 2 sites that had the background on my piece. Goobs is soooo cute!

Lovely block. I like your take on it, the brown and the cute 30's makes it a bit softer. I am thinking of using this as my bee block for my month of swapping. With a light center, that would work well for a signature block?

Hi Belinda...I'm loving your butterfly quilt!I'm also working on one...I'm a brown girl too.My friend Nedra worked on hers at our retreat a couple of weeks ago...I appreciate the fact that you gave credit where it belongs...you are one polite sweetie pie!xlori

LOVE your butterflies, Belinda!! So cute. I was trying to decide what to sew today -- maybe I'll sneak in some more butterflies! Can Goober come over and play?? What a CUTIE! Thanks for all the credits. ;-)

They are everywhere, rather like a growing swarm of bees or an invasion. I love them. Love love them. I want some too! When I say? I don't know. But I really really like your idea of chocolate brown. The dark background makes them pop.

I'm totally in love with Goober! Is he a chihuahua? I have a black-and-tan one myself named Shadow Dante. He is my baby! I don't do much in the way of quilting, but I do sew and Shadow likes to bury himself under the pillows I make for my couch! Does Goober bury himself, too?Really...how could anyone resist those huge ears and eyes?

Reader just updated to let me know that you had 3 "new" posts. Good ol' Reader... Anyway, you have been extremely busy. Congratulations on your reunion quilt bringing in so much money. That had to have felt really good. Goober sure has grown, and he is so cute!
